Chapter 444: Dharma Form Shield

Sigh! This would place even greater demands on his control over his mind and would also consume more mental energy than the miniature Evil Breaking Arrows.

Even so, it was something that had to be done.

After thinking it through, Xiao Shou immediately began creating an all-around shield that could be divided and distributed among all the cultivators on the battlefield, combining the properties of the Terrestrial Fox Dharma Form and the Evil Breaking Arrows.

He rapidly calculated the structure in his mind, constructing the technique again and again. At a speed even he had not expected, he finally completed its creation.

All that remained was to test it.

Xiao Shou opened his eyes and said to Fu Young beside him, "Young’er, I’m going to test a new technique in a moment. This time, I need to devote my entire mind to it and won’t be able to pay attention to my surroundings. Protect me while I’m doing it."

"Mm! I’ll listen to Master."

His eyes are so bright. It seems Master has come up with a solution! I wonder what this new technique will be like.

Fu Young silently thought to himself.

Seeing Fu Young agree, Xiao Shou quickly formed the hand seals for his newly created technique.

Fu Young, Tushan Qing, Venerable Zhu Yan, the Ninefold Elixir Gate Master, and the others had been watching him closely. As his movements continued, a pure, pitch-black, heavy aura suddenly surged forth.

A massive amount of spiritual energy rapidly gathered, forming a gigantic black fox that stood ten thousand meters tall.

The enormous black fox immediately divided into countless black humanoid spiritual energy constructs, each roughly three meters tall.

In an instant, they teleported to the side of every cultivator before pouncing toward them and merging into their bodies. Around each cultivator, they formed a three-meter-tall, all-around humanoid shield that completely protected them within.

The cultivators only felt their vision turn black when the gigantic black fox appeared. Then their entire bodies were enveloped in spiritual energy filled with a pure, profound earthly aura.

Their injuries and depleted spiritual energy rapidly recovered.

For the cultivators who had been on the verge of death, there was something even more incredible. Attacks that should have been fatal were actually deflected by the shield.

Even attacks that could not be deflected had their damage absorbed by the layer of spiritual energy. Any wounds that appeared on the spiritual energy were instantly repaired at an astonishing speed.

While all the cultivators enveloped in this black spiritual energy were shocked, panicked, and at a loss for what to do, they could sense that the spiritual energy was not evil.

However, because its color resembled demonic aura, most of the cultivators protected by the Dharma Forms still felt uneasy.

Then all the cultivators suddenly heard a gentle female cultivator’s voice transmitted into their minds.

"Everyone, don’t panic. This layer of black spiritual energy is a Dharma Form shield I created. It can protect you from the demon soldiers, heal your injuries, and restore your spiritual energy. At the same time, through the connection between these Dharma Forms, I can infuse your attacks with spiritual energy particles that are deadly to the Demon Abyss Clan. So, gather your courage and boldly launch a counterattack!"

The cultivators were stunned by this voice.

Most of them tentatively tried launching a technique toward the densely packed demon soldiers before them.

They then discovered, to their disbelief, that the demon soldiers, who had previously been so difficult to injure that even creating a wound had been challenging, had suddenly become incredibly fragile.

Their attacks began producing powerful effects.

Furthermore, the wounds inflicted on the demon soldiers could no longer heal themselves as they had before, nor could they recover by devouring cultivators.

"My attack is working!"

"My technique actually killed that huge monster!"

"My severed limbs can actually grow back without even taking a Creation Pill!"

"Ah! You demonic brats! Your grandfather isn’t afraid of you anymore..."

"Ugh... Die, die! All of you deserve to die! You damned demons..."

After a chaotic wave of reactions, the cultivators’ courage surged because of the Dharma Form shields. They all rushed toward the demon soldiers who were no longer as terrifying as before.

Many cultivators who had not received a shield shouted one after another.

"Give me one too!"

"I want to kill more of those demonic brats!"

"I want to kill them too and avenge everyone..."

Seeing that the technique had worked successfully, Xiao Shou multitasked. Without neglecting the cultivators who had already received shields, he condensed the ten-thousand-meter Terrestrial Fox Dharma Form five more times.

Only then was he able to protect all the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation cultivators across the entire battlefield.

The all-around protection granted them immense courage, allowing them to gather powerful combat strength and launch a fierce counterattack against the demon soldiers.

Watching this scene, Fu Young looked at Xiao Shou with a gaze that seemed almost capable of melting.

He reached out and pressed a hand against Xiao Shou’s back, linking his spiritual energy and vitality with Xiao Shou’s spiritual energy and vitality.

In such a short amount of time, Master actually transformed the Terrestrial Fox Dharma Form, a clan secret technique originally meant to protect oneself and attack others, into a shield technique capable of protecting countless cultivators. Who else could accomplish something like this except Master?

Since Master wants to protect them and is willing to expend so much of his own strength for their sake, then I’ll contribute my share as well. How can I let Master work so hard all by himself?

The Ninefold Elixir Gate Master and the other sect masters, who were fighting fiercely, had gotten their wish and seen Xiao Shou take action again.

However, they had never expected him to act in this manner. Even they had suddenly found themselves protected by these shields.

In an instant, these old foxes all understood something.

The young man who, in their eyes, was little more than a child had such extraordinary gentleness hidden beneath his domineering and forceful exterior.

They could not help being moved by that gentleness.
